Twenty days passed quickly.

Xu Rong, Liu Yi and others returned one after another, and they brought back a total of 320 Xiangyong, plus Gongsun Du's recruitment in the Liao Army, a total of 410 people.

Now Gongsun Du and the others are sitting in the house in the middle of the barracks, discussing how to divide the arms of these people. This is considered their previous omission, in the end, they are not very old, even if Xu Rong and Liu Yi used to be the commanders, but they have not participated in the division of troops, so they have forgotten about it.

"My opinion is best to be cavalry, if you want to deal with aliens, only cavalry can do it." Yang Yi thought the simplest and most crisp.

Liu Yi glanced at him speechlessly and said, "That's a good word, what about the horse?" We don't even have more than ten horses, and we want to equip more than four hundred, it's simply impossible. Moreover, the elite troops of the alien race can be one person, two horses, or even three horses. ”

Yang Yi suddenly withered when he heard this. Yes, how can there be so many horses?

Moreover, with a horse, can you afford it? Marco has a big belly, and it's nothing to eat some grass or something in peacetime, but it's different in wartime, and if you want to match the foreign cavalry, you need to be fed with fine food.

Xu Rong suddenly said: "Even if you have a horse, you have to be able to ride!" ”

Forehead?

Everyone was stunned, yes, they couldn't ride, even if they had horses, they would be in vain. If you want to train from scratch and form an elite cavalry, you can't do it in a few years.

Gongsun Du waved his hand, and several people looked over, smiled slightly, and said: "What everyone said is reasonable, whether it is to have cavalry to deal with foreign races, or horses, and the question of whether to ride a horse or not, it is reasonable." It seems that the time is not yet ripe to build cavalry, and we don't have that much food to feed them now. ”

"However, sooner or later, the cavalry will have to be established, and it is better to do it later than to do it early, and it is better to do it early than to do it now. I think there will come a time when we will have horses, food, and horses. ”

Xu Rong and Liu Yi nodded when they heard this, and agreed with this, but Xu Rong still said: "The training of cavalry and ordinary soldiers is not the same, so I think it is enough to properly train some cavalry in the current situation." ”

Yang Yi said, "Then who will train the cavalry?" He straightened his chest as he spoke, obviously wanting to take on the task. It's just that to his disappointment, Gongsun Du just smiled at him and looked at Liu Yi and Xu Rong.

The two also understood what Gongsun Du meant, looked at each other, and then Liu Yi said: "I think it is most suitable for Tingfang to train cavalry, not to mention his strength, just to say that his riding skills were also excellent in the army." ”

Gongsun Du originally wanted Xu Rong to train cavalry, he knew Xu Rong's ability, and training cavalry was just a piece of cake. However, he was still a little surprised by Liu Yi's choice, he thought he would fight for it, but he didn't expect it...... This made Gongsun Du have a deeper understanding of him and felt that he was a person who could be entrusted with important tasks.

"Okay, Tingfang, what do you think?" Gongsun Du still pretended to ask Xu Rong's opinion.

Xu Rong took a serious look at Liu Yi, and when he saw him nodding, he said, "Okay, but I suggest that the number of cavalry should be controlled below fifty, and with our existing horses, training is not good." ”

Gongsun Du said: "No, a hundred, there must be a hundred, as for the horse problem you are worried about, I will find a way and give me ten days." ”

Xu Rong was a little surprised, not only him, but also others, and asked together, "Do you have a way to buy a large number of military horses?" ”

The only thing they can think of is to buy it, because military horses are different from other horses, there are no them on the market, and they have to find special people to buy them, which is almost an open black market.

Gongsun Du waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't worry about it so much, I'll solve it." ”

Xu Rong nodded and said, "Okay, ten days, if you can't find enough horses in ten days, I hope to reduce the number of people trained to fifty." ”

"Okay." Gongsun Du replied, "I agree, if I can't do it in ten days, I will do as you say." ”

Xu Rong nodded and didn't say anything more.

Then, they discussed the issue of sword and shield soldiers, spearmen, and archers......

About half an hour later, Gongsun Du clapped his hands, attracted the eyes of several people, and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then I'm going to start the appointment." ”

Xu Rong and the others all nodded.

"We have a total of men and horses, a tun chief, Xu Rong, a total of one hundred cavalry. Equip cloth armor and spears. ”

"Yes!" Xu Rong responded, without the slightest wave on his face.

"Ertun Chang, Liu Yi, a total of one hundred sword shield soldiers. Equipped with leather armor, broadsword, as for the shield, for the time being, there is no one, can only make a wooden shield. I hope that Hongyuan can complete the production of the shield as soon as possible. Gongsun Du said to Liu Yi deliberately.

Liu Yi said: "Yes." General, the last general will definitely complete the production of the wooden shield as soon as possible. "In fact, at this time, it is inappropriate to call himself General Gongsun Du and call himself the last general. However, there were no outsiders here, even Xu Rong, who paid the most attention to the name, only frowned slightly, but did not say anything.

In fact, this is a temptation by Liu Yi, and Gongsun Du also understands it, so he acquiesces.

"Santun Chang, Jiaolu, one hundred and twenty spearmen, armed with spears and cloth armor."

Yangyi originally thought that Santun Chang would be, but he didn't expect it to be Jiaolu. The same is true for Jiao Lu, originally he thought that he or Tu Yi would be Xu Rong or Liu Yi's deputy.

Unexpectedly, Jiao Lu still responded very happily: "Yes, general." The last general will live up to the trust of the general. ”

Gongsun Du smiled and nodded, Yu Guang glanced at Yangyi, saw that he was unconvinced, smiled in his heart, pretended not to see it, and continued: "Situn Chang, Tu Yi, eighty archers. The distribution of archers is up to you. ”

Tu Yi had long expected that the archers would belong to him, who made him qualified to be the commander of the tun, and the archery skills were the highest among several people: "Yes, general." I thought that fifty of them would be enough for ordinary archers, and the remaining thirty were longbowmen. ”

Gongsun Du waved his hand and said: "You can decide these things, since I will leave it to you, then you have the final say." ”

Tu Yiyan's originally calm face also flushed, not shy, but a feeling that a soldier died as a confidant.

Gongsun Du nodded kindly, then looked at Xiang Yangyi, and said, "Zhengyan, do you have any opinion on my arrangement?" ”

Xu Rong, Liu Yi, and Jiao Lu have the same idea, they thought that Yangyi would become the head of Santun, even if Jiao Lu's spear skills are very good, but in the end, they are not as good as Yangyi.

Yang Yi stiffened his neck when he heard this, and said, "What the general says is what's wrong." ”

Yang Yi's words seemed to be answering Gongsun Du, but no one could hear the resentment in his words.

"Hahaha~"

Everyone laughed, except for Xu Rong, but even Xu Rong had a rare corner of his mouth curled up, pulling out an ugly smile.

Yang Yi felt extremely wronged, how could she treat him like this? He wanted to vent, he wanted to roar......

Gongsun Du saw that Yang Yi couldn't bear it, so he quickly stopped laughing and said, "Zhengyan, don't think about it, in fact, I have a very important task to arrange for you, so I ......."

Yang Yi said in a low voice: "How is it possible, what is better than Tun Chang." ”

Gongsun Du and the others heard it, and couldn't help but laugh secretly.

However, Gongsun Du knew that it was too much, and hurriedly said: "I still lack a personal soldier captain, I don't know if Zhengyan is willing to give in?" ”

Yang Yi's eyes lit up: "Really? ”

"What I said will be false?" Gongsun Du pretended to be dissatisfied.

Yang Yi hurriedly said: "No, no, no, naturally it won't be fake, no, it's true, it's true...... Forehead...... I mean, agreed, couldn't agree more. ”

Gongsun Du breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "That's good, I'm afraid you won't agree." ”

"No, no, absolutely not." Yang Yi hurriedly waved his hand, and then asked very worriedly, "Well, can I ask, how many people are in the general's personal army?" ”

Gongsun Du smiled awkwardly and said, "Ten, plus you, there are eleven people in total." ”

Yang Yi's face was obviously full of disappointment, but he still responded: "Okay, ten people are fine, and it's easy to manage." ”

For Yangyi's words, everyone will listen to it.

Then Gongsun Du said: "There is something, I want to tell you first. ”

"Tingfang knows that I found a warehouse in the county. After you left, I counted the supplies. There are a total of 356 cloth armors, 150 leather armors, and none of the bronze armor or iron armor; Among the weapons, there are mostly spears, with 300 guns, 150 broadswords, 100 ordinary bows and arrows, 80 longbows (long-range shooting), about 50 bundles of arrows, that is, 5,000 swords, and 10 swords. The reason why there are so few swords is mainly that he is not very suitable for defending the city and the wilderness. War. Then, there are 10 pairs of wristbands, all of which are made of leather, but the workmanship is quite good.

There is also the materials for defending the city, 5 and a half barrels of oil, and that's it.

Finally, and arguably the most important, is the grain, which is only about 300 stones. ”

Gongsun Du paused and said, "In other words, according to the current situation, our food is only enough for one month, so everyone is talking about what should we do?" ”
